Deputy Dakota Dupuis said he had been on routine patrol when he noticed a truck drive to an empty parking lot and sit with the engine running for “a period of time.”

“After approaching the truck to make contact with the driver to see why they were sitting there, it appeared that the occupants of the truck were about to use drugs,” Dupuis said.

After an investigation, Dupuis arrested Shawn Scott, 44, on a charge of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant (drugs), possession of cocaine and possession of heroin.

Also arrested was passenger Jennifer Hunt, 43, on a warrant as well as charges of cocaine possession and heroin possession.

Road rage

An Eastbrook woman contacted police Nov. 27 about a road rage incident that occurred in Lamoine.

I explained to the male that any further complaints would result in a different course of action.”
